Every address,
in Europe and worldwide.
An address from any country comes out in the postal form of its country: postcode in the national format, abbreviations expanded in the local language, city in its local name, house number before or after the street as customary, country line. It is the form needed for mailing and for comparing records, and it applies to every country. Where the national address register is in service, street and house number are also verified one by one and the coordinates come out with the declared precision.
All countries: the postal form
The postal form applies to every country in the world, including those outside the table below. The country is recognised from its name, written in any language, or from its code. An address in Lisbon, Athens or Buenos Aires comes out written the way that country's post requires, and two records of the same person, written in different ways, can be compared.
- Postcode·in the national format, with the country prefix removed (D-80331 → 80331, S-111 29 → 111 29)
- Street·abbreviations expanded in the country's language (str. → Straße, avda. → Avenida, gt. → gate), capitals as customary
- City·in its local name (Munich → MÜNCHEN, Lisbon → LISBOA)
- House number·before or after the street as customary in the country (12 Rue de la Paix, Hauptstraße 5)
- Country·country line and ISO code, in the reader's language
In these countries, the house number too
In these countries the address is checked against the country's official registers, against which street, house number, postcode and coordinates are verified. Where a register is missing or covers only part of the territory, other open sources are used. The “Coverage” column shows, country by country, how much comes from the official register and how much from other sources.

The data we take from OpenStreetMap
Where we use it, OpenStreetMap comes into play in two ways. In countries with a national register it supplements the register: the coordinates of house numbers the register does not have, the postcode where the register does not publish it, alternative or historical street names, localities. In countries that do not publish an address register, it is the source. The data is © OpenStreetMap contributors, under the ODbL licence; this is the method by which we derive our own from it.
- Every month we take the updated extract for the country. In Italy every house number, street and locality is assigned to the municipality whose boundaries contain it.
- The postcode of a street, of a locality and of a municipality is the one written on the majority of the house numbers that carry one, and alongside it we keep how many house numbers that is and what share they make up. A street has more than one postcode when a second code has at least 3 house numbers and 10% of the total: there the house number decides.
- In Italy, when a municipality's house numbers with a postcode are fewer than 10 or the majority is below 90%, the municipality's postcode on Wikidata (CC0) applies, if it gives only one.
- In Italy, the postcodes that Poste Italiane has changed and made public in its postcode change notices (www.poste.it/cap, AGCOM resolution 384/17/CONS) take precedence over OpenStreetMap and Wikidata: municipal mergers, new postcodes for municipalities and localities. An address that takes its postcode from them cites the notice and its date.
- When a country's official register does not exist or is incomplete, the missing postcode is taken from the OpenStreetMap house numbers closest to the same address.
- The coordinates of a house number that the register does not have come, in this order, from the house number in OpenStreetMap, from an estimate between the neighbouring house numbers on the same side of the street, from the centre of the street, from the centre of the municipality: the result always says which.
